My new Gold Lion KT77/ECC8s tubes
 

I just replaced the stock El34s and 12AU7s in my Premium HP with Gold Lion KT77s and ECC82s—wow! Even right out of the box I hear greater transparency and details, such as finger squeaks on a classical guitar, and greater immediacy without a loss of warmth. Very, very nice.

I want to publicly thank Vintage_Tube (Bob) for his great prices and service.

Glad to hear John. Good too to have your feedback in which the Gold Lions once again impress.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the shout out too -- :yes:

Enjoy Sir,

Best

Bob

John.......You picked the right tube vendor. :applause:

It is interesting that you chose to use KT77's. I know the EL34 tubes produce 70 w/p/c/ in the PrimaLuna Premium HP. What is the output power rating with the KT77 tubes?

I think it's the same. The more powerful KT88, 120, and 150 are not as good for classical music from what I gather, plus I don't need more power--I rarely turn my volume past "9:00" as it is!

Another vote for the GL KT77. When I rolled a set into my Conrad Johnson Classic 60SE it was transformed in a very good way.

Had a similar result rolling GL KT-77s into a CJ Classic 60SE. Big upgrade in the sound as you describe, including a more solid lower end with the CJ. They replaced the EH EL34s in my CJ.

I would also thank Bob for the tubes, but I don't recall where I purchased.
